Garlic Scape and Zucchini Blossom Pasta
STEPHANEPRUDHOMME
Description
This simple, gourmet seasonal pasta is so quick to make that it's perfect for busy nights. Zucchini blossoms are very delicate, so it's best to add them at the very last minute. Look for tightly closed bright yellow blossoms that are free of blemishes and use them within a day or two, because they don't last long in the refrigerator.
